# Was just gifted this plant and have no idea what it is 😬 for extra…

_Posted by Goldfish on 2024-11-29_

Was just gifted this plant and have no idea what it is 😬 for extra context, the leaves are VERY stiff, and the only spikes are on the very tips of the leaves - doesn't look like an aloe species, wondering if it's a type of Gasteria???

Looks like a succulent if you haven't already come to that conclusion

Thanks lol ;)

Definitely gasteria, maybe obliqua?

#### Goldfish replied on 2024-11-29

Ooh, I'll look into it, thanks :)

#### Goldfish replied on 2024-11-29

That sounds like the most likely option 👍

It looks like it could be a species of aloe or agave, maybe?

Potentially! I also got an aloe from this same person, so who knows :)
